Background:At present,domestic guidelines and consensus recommend the use of nutritional risk screening 2002(NRS 2002)and patient-generated subjective global assessment(PG-SGA)for nutritional risk screening and assessment of patients with gastrointestinal cancer during the perioperative period.However,PG-SGA has higher professional requirements,complex content and time-consuming.In the current busy situation of medical staff,NRS 2002 is more used for screening alone.Aims:To explore the consistency of NRS 2002 and PG-SGA in the assessment of nutritional status and clinical outcomes in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies,and to explore the accuracy of screening using NRS 2002 alone,so as to provide guidance for the establishment of clinical nutritional screening and assessment standards.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 157 patients with gastrointestinal malignancies who underwent radical operation in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Xiangya Hospital,Central South University from January 2020 to October 2022.Nutritional screening and evaluation were performed by NRS 2002 and PG-SGA scales and demographic data and nutrition-related laboratory indicators were collected to observe short-term postoperative clinical outcomes.Results:Patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition had lower body mass index(BMI),lymphocytes and prealbumin(P<0.05).The correlation and consistency of NRS 2002 and PG-SGA scales were good(r=0.728,κ=0.46)and the areas under the curve(AUC)for predicting postoperative complications were 0.691 and 0.702,respectively.In addition,nutritional risk and postoperative complications were significantly increased in patients with malnutrition(P<0.05).Conclusions:Therefore,gastrointestinal surgeons can only use NRS2002 to perform nutritional screening of patients and make corresponding nutritional treatment according to the screening results in the case of busy clinical work.

Although primary vesical calculi is an ancient disease, the mechanism of calculi formation remains unclear. In this study, we established a novel primary vesical calculi model with d,l-choline tartrate in mice. Compared with commonly used melamine and ethylene glycol models, our model was the only approach that induced vesical calculi without causing kidney injury. Previous studies suggest that proteins in the daily diet are the main contributors to the prevention of vesical calculi, yet the effect of fat is overlooked. To assay the relationship of dietary fat with the formation of primary vesical calculi, d,l-choline tartrate-treated mice were fed a high-fat, low-fat, or normal-fat diet. Genetic changes in the mouse bladder were detected with transcriptome analysis. A high-fat diet remarkably reduced the morbidity of primary vesical calculi. Higher fatty acid levels in serum and urine were observed in the high-fat diet group, and more intact epithelia in bladder were observed in the same group compared with the normal- and low-fat diet groups, suggesting the protective effect of fatty acids on bladder epithelia to maintain its normal histological structure. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the macrophage differentiation-related gene C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (Cxcl14) was upregulated in the bladders of high-fat diet-fed mice compared with those of normal- or low-fat diet-fed mice, which was consistent with histological observations. The expression of CXCL14 significantly increased in the bladder in the high-fat diet group. CXCL14 enhanced the recruitment of macrophages to the crystal nucleus and induced the transformation of M2 macrophages, which led to phagocytosis of budding crystals and prevented accumulation of calculi. In human bladder epithelia (HCV-29) cells, high fatty acid supplementation significantly increased the expression of CXCL14. Dietary fat is essential for the maintenance of physiological functions of the bladder and for the prevention of primary vesical calculi, which provides new ideas for the reduction of morbidity of primary vesical calculi.

Objective To evaluate the effects of preoperative prophylactic infusion of cephalosporins antibiotics on electrocardiogram(ECG)during anesthesia induction with propofol. Methods Fifty female patients,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 20-50 yr,weighing 43-75kg,scheduled for elective surgery,were divided into cefuroxime sodium group(group CEFU)and cefathiamidine group(group CEFA),with 25 patients in each group. After cefuroxime sodium was infused in group CEFU or cefathiamidine was infused in group CEFA,propofol was given by target-controlled infusion(plasma concentration 4 μg/ml).Before infusion of cefuroxime sodium or cefathiamidine,after completion of infusion and at 5min after propofol reached the target concentration,12-lead ECG was recorded,and mean arterial pressure and heart rate were simultaneously recorded. Tp-e interval and Tp-e/QT ratio were calculated.Results Compared with the baseline before infusion of cefuroxime sodium or cefathiamidine,Tp-e interval was significantly prolonged after completion of infusion and at 5min after propofol reached the target concentration in group CEFU,and Tp-e interval was significantly prolonged,and Tp-e/QT ratio was enlarged in group CEFA(P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in mean arterial pressure and heart rate at each time point (P>0.05).Conclusion Preoperative prophylactic infusion of cefuroxime sodium produces less ECG interference than preoperative prophylactic infusion of cefathiamidine during anesthesia induction with propofol.

Objective To evaluate the role of δ-opioid receptors in hydromorphone postcondition-ing-induced maintenance of electrophysiological stability during ischemia-reperfusion(I∕R)in isolated rat hearts. Methods Healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2-3 months, weighing 280-360 g, were used in this study. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 60 mg∕kg. Their hearts were immediately removed and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus. Thirty-two isolated hearts were divided into 4 groups after successful preparation of Langendorff perfusion model(n=8 each)using a random number ta-ble: control group(group C), group I∕R, hydromorphone postconditioning group(group HP)and hydro-morphone plus δ-opioid receptor antagonist naltridole postconditioning group(group HNP). In HP and HNP groups, the hearts were perfused for 10 min with K-H solution containing 41 ng∕ml hydromorphone and 41 ng∕ml hydromorphone plus 5 μmol∕L naltridole, respectively, and then with K-H solution for 50 min.
